Coach
Mike Coval

This is THE program to help basketball players build their foundation (sound movement, strength, coordination, and explosiveness) which will not only have their bodies ready for more advanced programming in the future, but will get them stronger, more explosive, and more bounce out on the court in only 8 weeks!

Strength that Transfers to the Court
Finishing stronger at the rim, playing through contact, being able to better absorb contact, and being the smaller player out on the court no longer matter as you have added a measurable amount of strength that you can feel out on the court!
benefit-image-1
More Explosion Vertically & Laterally
The drills that you will be executing on a weekly basis will have you getting up and moving laterally like you never have before!
benefit-image-2
Athletic & Intimidating with More Muscle
Not only will you be stronger & more explosive, but you will look the part. I've had basketball players gain as much as 8 lbs during the "Foundations" program.

FAQs
What if I don't have the equipment do a specific lift?
You can swap it out. If you're not sure, then DM on IG and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. @covalhoopstrong
I've worked with a coach before....is this a program for me?
It's hard to say. In my experience, I've had a lot of athletes come into my facility that had worked with coaches before and in most cases it didn't make much of a difference. They still got tons of benefit from the "Foundations" program.
Is there a certain age where someone is "too old" for the program?
"Too old"? Nope! "Too old" means either A) the person is referring to their age B) the person is referring to their level of competition. For example, is this too beginner for a collegiate basketball player? Definitely not! In fact, I had an entire team of college hoopers on this program.

""The foundational programs from COVAL Hoopstrong were the catalyst for me having stupid bounce as I went into college. I never thought I'd have a 40 inch vertical, but in 3 years of training on average 2x per week I went from a 28 inch to 40 inch vertical.""
